I just updated to the Rt66 T999UVDMD5.
Everything went nice and dandy. I noticed in the Play store I had the option of uninstalling some TMO apps and Google Play apps.
So I did but when I restarted my phone, the apps I just uninstalled updated and installed again.
I know I can prevent auto-updates but how can I delete these apps permanently?
Can I assume to delete them via Root Explorer?
Yes or disable with Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox.

It seems that on Calkulin's ROM, the new version of Google Maps has a serious wakelock issue. I googled the offending wakelock ("networklocationpassivecollector") and the only solution is to go back to a pre 6.0 version. Thing is that I can't uninstall Google Maps, it'll let me uninstall updates, but it'll still be version 6.0 that's causing the problem.
Have you tried using root explorer and going into /system/apps click the mount RW button on top and delete the google maps? Then install the older version that you want.
You could also remove it with Abd. Google that process.
ended up using Titanium Backup. works perfectly!
Alright, so I decided to use Root Uninstaller to freeze some apps such as the AT&T Software Update and various other Samsung apps. Unfortunately, I haven't been unable to unfreeze the apps regardless of whether or not I use Root Uninstaller or Titanium Backup. If I use either Root Uninstaller or Titanium Backup, they each say they have unfrozen the app, but if I go to use the app, It will not work; the phone will not recognize it is even installed.
Any help would be appreciated.

A few days ago random apps started downloading and installing by themselves. Not from the app store, but appeared to be their apk files downloaded from the the internet. It happens few times a day and they keep coming back after I uninstall them. I did a factory reset but that still didn't help. I also unchecked allow installation from unknown sources still doesn't work. I want to get rid of them permanently. How can I do that. Some of the apps are DU cleaner, DU battery saver, Go launcher, APUS, and 4 shareapps. Thanks you.
All of them might be from the sites you go to, advertisements that downloads the apks when you click on some link. Try ad-blocking and only install apps on the play store..
Any app can't be installed by itself without having root access. So if you have a rooted phone, check the list of granted apps from SuperSU and also check your installed apps because there must be an app which is downloading and installing other apps from the Internet.
